"Enlargement will have no consequences for the regions in the present Member States until 2006, whereupon a decision will have to be made on the policy in relation to all the regions. At its meeting in October, the European Council concluded that EU expenditure must be such as to ensure that the enlarged Union has sufficient resources at its disposal to ensure the orderly development of its policies for the benefit of all its citizens. The needs of producers living in the disadvantaged regions of the present European Union should be safeguarded. It was added that multifunctional agriculture will be maintained in all areas of Europe, in accordance with the conclusions of the 1997 Luxembourg European Council and the 1999 Berlin European Council. In any case, the Community must go on endeavouring to reduce the differences between the various areas’ levels of development in accordance with Article 158 of the EC Treaty. To contribute to this process, the Brussels European Council decided that, with a view to enlargement, all commitment appropriations must be added to the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund to the tune of EUR 23 000 million in the period 2004-2006. The financial consequences of enlargement were reported on in the Presidency’s conclusions arising from last Friday’s European Council summit in Copenhagen. The overall, well-balanced result forms a solid basis for integrating ten new Member States, at the same time as ensuring that the enlarged EU is able to function effectively. I would therefore refer you to the conclusions of the summit, showing the economic situation throughout the period."@en1
